Get the player from touching a part

I think you need to check that hit.Parent is actually the character.

Try running this before setting the player variable:

script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
if not (Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent)) then return end -- Check if this is the player	
local player = game:GetService("Players"):GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent)
awardBadge(player, badgeID)
end)
